These healthy leafy greens are great for early spring and late fall as they thrive in cool weather. In fact, you can leave it to reseed in your garden over winter and it will be one of the first greens of spring. Arugula's oak leaf-shaped leaves grow in a loose bunch and taste peppery. The flowers are also edible and they make an attractive garnish.

More about the Planter...

The 10 "cells" in this planter are set at a 45 degree angle, allowing the plants to grow up and out. As the plants grow they hide the planter so all that is visible is the beautiful living art of the plants.

The Irrigation Tray included in this kit is a container that slips on the top of the planter, with four tiny holes in the bottom designed to slowly irrigate each cell, ensuring that all the plants absorb the water appropriately. Automatic Irrigation Systems are a great option for the busy gardener or for anyone who is using multiple GroVert trays. These systems can be indoors or out and are run by either battery or electrically powered timers.

A Collection Tray, also included in this kit, attaches to the bottom of the planter and catches any water that drains from the bottom of the planter, keeping your walls and floors dry.

Both the Irrigation and Collection Trays are hidden from view by the frame so that all you see are your stunning and beautifully framed plants.

More about the plants...

Arugula needs to grow quickly for best quality. This can only be done by giving the plants everything they need.

Soil: The soil is called upon to produce a lot of foliage in a short time, so it should be fertile, moisture retentive and well drained. *

Water: These fast-growing plants must have all of the water they need for rapid growth. It is important that the soil is kept moist at all times. *

Food: The main requirement for Arugula is nitrogen, but they also need moderate amounts of potassium and phosphorus. *

Harvesting: You can plant these greens closer together than the variety requirements and then thin them out as they grow (eat the thinnings). You can thin them to a final spacing of 6" apart. Trim uniform green leaves of at least 4 to 5".*

Did You Know?: Arugula is rich in Vitamins A and K, as well as folic acid. It is also good source of zinc, potassium, calcium and iron.*
